Abstract

Ukraineis a republic formed from someof the former Soviet Union's territory. Primary care for children in Ukraine is delivered by paediatricians in polyclinics. Specialty and tertiary care for children is based at children's hospitals, as is postgraduate training in paediatrics. Many challenges to child health care in Ukraine accompanied the collapse of the Soviet Union, includinga lack of resources devoted topublic health and community care, environmental contamination and a system of medical education and delivery of care that is not suited to meet evolving changes in medical care.
